One Battery in ERevo?
I like to bash at a local back country 'track' and access to this track requires a 1/2 mile walk in. We putt our trucks in and out along a trail. I'd like to run the ERevo on one 6 cell battery for the in and out hike. If I run the main batteries down to nothing the dang truck is a load to carry out of there...Will running the ERevo on one battery at walking speed hurt either the ESC or motor?...I don't even know if it WILL run on one battery...:^)...Thanks!

It will run fine (slow) on one battery. Use the connector that powers up the servo and esc. Jumper the other side with one of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPYB3&P=7

Carry it, it's 1/2 mile.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I wish I was healthy and 20 years old again but at 61 and having less than half of my lung capacity due to genetic illness, carrying my Revo and my Summit and a bunch of batteries for a 1/2 mile is a real chore...My 7 year old grandchild can't carry either the 9 pound Revo or the 11 pound Summit....
